This week we enjoyed a wonderful gourmet Dinner of the Month Club selection from GourmetStation. Our 3-course, international dinner-for-two consisted of an appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert.

Summary of Review:

The presentation and quality were top-notch, from the packaging to the food itself

The meal was easy to prepare and yielded exceptional results

This would make a great gift for someone who likes to eat a nice meal, but does not have time to prepare and clean up (ie new parents, working couples, bachelors)

Appetizer: Phyllo & Portabello Puffs

Entree #1: Lemon Herb Salmon

Entree #2: Tortellini with Shrimp

From the moment the package arrived, we knew we were in for first-class treatment. The packaging was impeccable! From the personalized message inside the box to the fully insulated lining with ice packs to keep the food cold, there was no question this was going to be a very special package.Lovely box to create a great first impression for a giftCustom greeting to personalize the gift for the recipientFully insulated on all sides, and secured with bubble wrap and ice packs insideAll items arrive perfectly in tact, appealing, and ready to go

Our cuisine of choice was the Parisian Three Course Dinner. It consisted of the following items:

Sounds scrumptious!!!

Everything was super-easy to prepare. The directions for each item were printed right on the package. Just remove the lid and pop into the oven for the specified time. That’s it – no hassle whatsoever.

The handmade appetizers needed less time than the entrees. So we followed the suggestion on the instructions, and enjoyed our appetizers while the entrees were finishing.Hand Made Appetizers: Phyllo & Portabello Puffs

Both entrees were fabulous – definitely than I could make myself at home (and without all of the mess). When I initially saw the packages, I wasn’t sure there would be enough food to fill us up. Boy, was I wrong! The servings were more than ample. Had to wait a little while before we started on the tempting dessert…

Dessert was 2 slices of the best raspberry cheesecake I have ever had! It was rich and delicious. A perfect ending to a gourmet meal!Raspberry Cheesecake
